The beloved East Williamsburg spot, an expansion of Harlem's Lambda Lounge owned by Charles Hughes and Richard Solomon, opened in 2022 to offer safe nightlife amid a scene often dominated by white crowds. Its closure at month's end has prompted mourning over the scarcity of dedicated Black queer clubs in NYC, with many recalling lost venues like Escuelita and Club Langston now replaced by themed nights. Community members blame high costs, gentrification fears, and shifting tastes toward pop-ups, yet Harlem's Lambda Lounge endures alongside a few other spots.

On January 22, 2025, at the World Economic Forum, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez proposed linking social media accounts to Europe's digital identity wallets. This would allow nicknames but enable authorities to trace real identities for crimes like hate speech or harassment, addressing bot accounts and misinformation. Part of his pitch to EU leaders, the idea ties into eIDAS 2.0 wallets rolling out by mid-2026 for services like banking, though social media linkage remains just a proposal. The clip has fueled strong pushback, with many viewing it as a step toward greater oversight.

In a Davos speech earlier this year, Pedro Sánchez drew everyday comparisons to make his case for change online. He pictured streets without masks and cars without plates, urging a shift from full anonymity.

Pieter Garicano argues in Works in Progress Magazine that Europe's rigid dismissal protections—like 62 months' salary in Spain or €167,000 per worker for Opel's 2014 factory closure—deter firms from high-stakes bets in EVs, AI, or space tech. While Volkswagen outspends U.S. rivals on R&D, it sticks to safe improvements rather than breakthroughs, and economists link this to Europe's lag in AI chips and mRNA vaccines. Critics cite studies showing protections can spur innovation, plus successes in flexicurity models like Denmark's, but many call for reforms to boost dynamism without sacrificing social stability.

In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.

On January 18, 2026—the day interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced a ceasefire—gunmen at a checkpoint near Abu Khashab village executed six adults from a fleeing 12-member Kurdish family from Raqqa, including 50-year-old Mohammed Ismail Salih and his wife Sara. Survivors like Shirin Mohammed Salih, shot in the back, sent heartbreaking voice messages pleading for help as her children were held.

In 2023, Labour Together—a think tank key to Keir Starmer's leadership shift—paid APCO Worldwide £30,000 to investigate reporters like Sunday Times' Gabriel Pogrund and Harry Yorke, Guardian's Henry Dyer, Paul Holden, and Matt Taibbi after stories on its £740,000 in unreported 2017-2020 donations. The firm labeled them 'significant persons of interest' and speculated their info came from an illegal hack, even submitting reports to the National Cyber Security Centre. Labour Together's then-director Josh Simons, now a minister, called it a probe into a suspected hack unrelated to UK journalists, but targeted reporters described the materials as a 'dodgy dossier' aimed at discrediting their work. Press freedom groups raised alarms over the tactics amid broader concerns about political pressure on scrutiny.

New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters sharply rebuked his coalition partners on Monday for proposing state asset sales to tackle rising unemployment at 4.7%, record business insolvencies, and government debt at 42% of GDP. Peters advocated building value in state assets to drive growth and jobs, citing Singapore's model, while Prime Minister Christopher Luxon minimized the disagreement, focusing on spending cuts and tax relief in the 2025 Budget. Opposition leaders like Labour's Chris Hipkins and the Greens' Chlöe Swarbrick echoed concerns about privatization risks amid slow GDP growth of 0.2%.
